Psalm 23 New International Version Psalm 23 A psalm of David. 1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

[Isaac Samuel Lubwama]

Psalm 23 New International Version Psalm 23 A psalm of David. 1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. 4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley,[a] I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

We are blessed to join you in reflecting on Psalm 23, a beautiful passage that reminds us of God's unfailing love and care for us. Let us explore this Psalm together and pray according to its themes.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup overflows.

Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in Yahweh’s house forever. Psalm 23:1-6 WEB

What a comfort it is to know that the Lord is our shepherd! He provides for us, guides us, and restores our souls. Even in the darkest valleys, we need not fear, for He is with us. His goodness and love pursue us all our days, and He prepares a place for us in His house forever.

As we meditate on this Psalm, let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, thank You for being our good shepherd. Help us to trust in Your provision, guidance, and restoration. Even when we walk through dark valleys, remind us that You are with us, and we need not fear. Fill our cups to overflowing with Your goodness and love. Guide us in paths of righteousness for Your name's sake, and prepare a place for us in Your house forever. We pray this prayer in Jesus' Name.

As we go about our day, let us rest in the knowledge that the Lord is our shepherd, and He will never leave us nor forsake us. Be blessed and remember (John 14:13-14 WEB) Whatever you may ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.

As we continue to ponder Psalm 23, let's take a moment to remember how the Lord has been our Shepherd in our past. Let's share our stories of how He's made us lie down in green pastures, led us beside still waters, and restored our souls. It's amazing how He's guided us through life, isn't it?

Let's also pray for those who might be going through a tough time right now. Maybe they're walking through a dark valley, feeling alone or afraid. Let's lift them up to the Lord, asking Him to be their Shepherd too. That He would make them lie down in green pastures, lead them beside quiet waters, and restore their souls.

And as we pray, let's remember that we're not alone. We're in this together, as a family. Let's encourage each other with the truth of Psalm 23, reminding one another that the Lord is our Shepherd, and we shall not want.

In Jesus' Name, we pray. Amen.
